Hillary Hits Homerun !!

New York Times columnist, Dr. Paul Krugman put together this video, visually explaining how Hillary WINS the nomination.  

Though, he's a leading and effective writer, Dr. Krugman said, a video diagram was necessary cuz the Obama's worshipers (a phrase he coined) don't have a clue, and can't grasp the fact that Hillary has a LOCK on the nomination.

NOTE: Dr. Krugman has been a loyal Hillary supporter and perhaps her most influential surrogate.  He produced this video before Hillary threw him under the bus, yesterday on ABC, as a dreaded, unpatriotic, and unamerican elitist. I hope Paul doesn't take the smackdown, tooo hard.  But after all, Hillary is right.  I got a feeling, when Hill becomes president, to protect the proletariat and the Ronald Reagan Democrats, the first thing she will do, is kill all the economists (much like King Henry VI).

I think Dr. Krugman felt he had to oppose the "gas tax" holiday, simply because not a single economist, not even the kooks at libertarian think tanks (AKA dope-smoking-anarchists), supported the plan.  In fact, they've all denounced it.  In such an environment, it would be like saying the earth is round, when all conventional wisdom says the earth is flat.  This issue proves Hillary is as brave and courageous as Copernicus (the first polish sausage vendor at Fenway Park).

Later this month, when gas-tax-relief act passes and goes into effect, Hillary will go down in history, with the likes of Alka-Seltzer.

In fact, that should be her new campaign song:  "Plooop, plooop, fizz, fizz, or what a relief she is.."

Healthcare under Obama will cost THOUSANDS MORE (2.00 / 1)

for many people.. than under Hillary.

People will zero incomes (the unemployed) will pay NOTHING.

People with pre-existing conditions will pay 5-10% of their income, under Obama there is no limit to what the insurance companies consider a "fair price" (they will be the judges of what a fair price is, for someone with a disease like asthma, it could be $20,000 a year, easily, although that person would currently be uninsurable) If that person pays 20k a year, they will get insurance, if not they WILL be turned away. Notice how all the pro-Obama MSM articles seem to GLOSS OVER THAT FACT.

Obama makes healthcare 'affordable' by cutting holes in it!

Read todays NYT about how much they dont cover.. This will get worse under Obama.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/04/busine ss/04insure.html

Hillary has a premium cap that CAPS healthcare costs based on income. That 5-10% is much less than most people are paying now.

Notice in the image below how healthcare costs fell during the Clinton years. Then they went sky high again under Bush.

I'm sorry, but the "working class" that you so praise is what gave us Bush... If anyone cared to stop disparaging those who are smart and educated, we wouldn't be in the mess in Iraq.

America is the only country in the world where being educated and cultured actually LOWERS your social and political standing.

There are few groups more discriminated against in America than the educated.  We've been beat up by dominant Republicans for a generation.  Now, we have Democrats beating us up, too...  

Who represents us anymore?  WHO?  Certainly not the Hillary wing of the party who pisses on us with the same glee that Republicans have done for 30 years.

Why even bother sending your kids to College?  They'll only be crapped on in the end... No wonder  the American economy is going down the tubes.  We piss on education and the educated.

It's time to stop showing YOUR class privilege.  You rule the world, and yet it is not enough... you still have to put us down.  ENOUGH!  YOU ARE NO BETTER THAN WE ARE, NO MATTER HOW SUPERIOR YOU FEEL YOU ARE!

We're supposed to be in this together... but the Hillary supporters have forgotten that and made half the party their enemy.  You can't win with half the votes in November.  Just remember that as you piss on us so-called "elitists" who have worked VERY, VERY hard for EVERY worker in America, no matter what color shirt they wear!

Stop pissing on us!  We aren't the enemy!  We aren't republicans!

John Edwards:

And we do this -- we do this for each other in America. We don't turn away from a neighbor in their time of need. Because every one of us knows that what -- but for the grace of God, there goes us. The American people have never stopped doing this, even when their government walked away, and walked away it has from hardworking people, and, yes, from the poor, those who live in poverty in this country.

For decades, we stopped focusing on those struggles. They didn't register in political polls, they didn't get us votes and so we stopped talking about it. I don't know how it started. I don't know when our party began to turn away from the cause of working people, from the fathers who were working three jobs literally just to pay the rent, mothers sending their kids to bed wrapped up in their clothes and in coats because they couldn't afford to pay for heat.

We know that our brothers and sisters have been bullied into believing that they can't organize and can't put a union in the workplace. Well, in this campaign, we didn't turn our heads. We looked them square in the eye and we said, "We see you, we hear you, and we are with you. And we will never forget you." And I have a feeling that if the leaders of our great Democratic Party continue to hear the voices of working people, a proud progressive will occupy the White House.

By any imagineable statistical standard, those who educated with a college degree or beyond have a better chance of making it than those who don't.

Try backing this up - I'd love to see the rationale:

"America is the only country in the world where being educated and cultured actually LOWERS your social and political standing.

There are few groups more discriminated against in America than the educated."

Re: I had to read that twice (none / 0)

Considering that my comment got several recommends, it is obvious that you don't understand, or care to understand, what so many Democrats have endured over the years.  The Republicans have attacked academia for generations, and since their politics have been dominant, the general demeanor towards the educated in America has been both hostile and negative.

Having lived in a blue-collar town all my life, I can tell you that the prejudice is very real.  Educated folk here have been, shunned, threatened, and even attacked for the "crime" of having gone to school.  Education is not respected here, to say the least.  If you went to college and live here, you will not be treated well by local society.  Contrary to the myth, "elites" don't look their noses down on "regular people", it's the other way around.  You can see it here with the kind of comments directed at Obama supporters...

We used to have a safe haven in the Democratic Party against Republican-style attacks like these... apparently, no more...  Where do we go to get represented?  Or do we just not matter anymore?  We aren't "real" Americans?
